  The Strategic Defeat in Syria and Lebanon Is a Clear Reflection of the Clerical Regime’s Weakness and Instability The Next Dictatorship to Be Overthrown is the Mullahs’ Regime We are happy that PMOI members at Ashraf 3 are joining us today in this conference. We welcome them. Mr. Secretary, Welcome to the Home of the Iranian Resistance. We are delighted to host you in the early days of the New Year. I hope this year will be a successful year for the people of the United States and a year of freedom, peace and prosperity for our people and the entire Middle East. The Regime’s Setbacks in 2024 2024 was a year full of serious defeats for the regime. We saw widespread boycotts of two sham elections, increased resistance in prisons, more young people joining Resistance Units, and the expansion of their activities. The regime also confronted a broken economy, 40% inflation, widespread poverty and massive financial corruption, especially among officials and IRGC commanders and growing d...

Iran Factions Still Divided Over INSTEX

-

 I invite you to read an excellent article by the author and scholar of Iran

By Mahmoud Hakamian
There is still a great deal of controversy in Iran over the European financial channel - the Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges (INSTEX) - that was designed to help the mullahs evade US sanctions, with opposing political factions calling their rivals “traitor” and “saboteur” for supporting/opposing this move.
The fact that Europe will only implement INSTEX after Iran has ratified the necessary financial transparency bills required by the Financial Action Task Force is only intensifying the factional fight over whether to pursue INSTEX.
Those in the Rouhani faction want the FATF bills passed and INSTEX implemented in order to shore up an economy plagued by decades of incompetence and corruption on the part of the mullahs.
Those in the Khamenei faction are unwilling to save the economy because they fear that the financial transparency will expose what the majority of the world is already aware of, that the Iranian Regime is the leading state sponsor of terrorism and that it funds terror groups across the Middle East.
The Iranian Judiciary-affiliated Hemayat online newspaper wrote that INSTEX, much like the 2015 nuclear deal, would not benefit Iran and could “put conditions on political and economic relations”, while Iranian pundit Majid Tafrashi pointed out that INSTEX will not help Iran to trade with big companies anyway, because they will be looking to protect their much larger trading relationship with the US.
International law professor Mohsen Jalilvand also explained that INSTEX is designed to “trade oil with food, medicaments, and agricultural and medical equipment” so it was not likely to make a massive difference to the Iranian economy.
He said: “In the final analysis, Europe is under the umbrella of the US.”
Mohammad-Reza Bahonar, member of the Expediency Discernment Council, where the FATF bills are being reviewed, said: “Decisions about this are very delicate. It’s not like there is a choice between good and evil, but we should rather say that we are choosing the lesser of two evils.”
Iran’s former representative in the International Monetary Fund, Mohammad Qavam said that INSTEX was like bait because Europe had only introduced it rather than actually giving it to Iran without conditions and highlighting that not even Iran’s foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is able to say how INSTEX will work.
Of course, what is being lost in all of this is that Europe should not continue to appease the Iranian Regime and should instead be imposing sanctions to help the Iranian people overthrow the mullahs.

Countering Iran’s Threat, Strategies for Regional Stability

-

  Written by Mahmoud Hakamian Two-minute read On Sunday morning, April 14, the Iranian regime launched an unprecedented attack against Israel, escalating tensions in the Middle East. Despite military experts’ assessments that the attack failed, it underscores  Iran’s role as a focal point  of regional conflict. The October 7th attack sent shockwaves globally. Despite ample evidence implicating the Iranian regime, Western governments dismissed Tehran’s involvement, adhering to a flawed appeasement policy toward the primary state sponsor of terrorism. They disregarded explicit statements from Revolutionary Guards  (IRGC) commanders boasting  about their direct role in the attack. For decades, the Iranian Resistance has urged the international community to adopt a resolute stance against the Iranian regime’s aggression and terrorism. Despite persistent calls, the failed appeasement policy of the West allowed Tehran to escalate its belligerent activities, including ...

Link to call signing: https://www.change.org/p/un-secretary-general-call-for-justice-for-the-1988-iran-massacre Let's move our hands to change our world In the age of consciousness, and in the 21st century, brutality and barbarism must be stopped, this is not worthy of humanity. At the first step, you should be the center of this cruelty and the godfather of crime and murder, terrorism and fundamentalism that nobody is part of Iran's terrorist government. The fact is that the killing and execution of political and conscientious prisoners in public or in prisons is secretly in its astronomical dimensions on the coin of killing innocent people abroad by this regime. The issuance of terrorism and the support of fundamentalist and terrorist groups in this regime is institutionalized and is part of the constitution. The crimes committed by perpetrators and groups affiliated with this corrupt and expansionist state in Syria and Lebanon and Iraq ...

Iran nuclear deal must be fixed before it is too late

By DR. MAJID RAFIZADEH President Donald Trump will make a decision on whether the US will leave or stick with the Iran nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, by May 12. It has been almost three years since the nuclear accord was reached between the Islamic Republic and the UN Security Council’s five permanent members — Russia, the UK, China, France, and the US — plus Germany (the P5+1). Since the JCPOA’s implementation day on Jan. 16, 2016, the Iranian regime has been receiving various benefits that can be divided into four categories. Based on the terms of the JCPOA, four rounds of the United Nations Security Council’s economic sanctions against Tehran were  lifted  immediately.  The regime also received  unilateral  sanctions relief from individual countries in exchange for halting its nuclear activities and dismantling some sections of its nuclear program. For instanc...
